There is footage of him recording the song & being interrupted by a phone call saying that Mel B has arrived 2 interview him. This is from the Beautiful Strange video which is available here & there.

That Beautiful Strage video was very interesting to watch. Prince and Mel B. had great chemistry and he was enjoying toying with her. The Romeo/Rapunzel bit on the playground was hilarious. I didn't like his hair on that video, but I was melting watching him speak with her. Especially sitting on those stairs and playing with that earring in his mouth. Lawd have mercy!

Oh, the entire song is set to visuals at the end of the video. It's mostly different graphics of colored light and clouds with the lyrics floating over them.

Strangely beautiful... Beautiful strange
That's what we said, instead of the name
If U count the times He took all the blame
U would find the reason behind the game
In the darkness we must look 4 the way
Words so strange that only the mind can say.
If it makes no mind what color or holy day,
Why is this game the only one that we play?
Dive inside your soul if U wanna know the light inside the darkness 4ever glows.
The son is like the diamond inside the coal and like an embryo it grows and grows

A couple of years ago I saw him perform "Beautiful Strange" @ the House of Blues in Hollywood... MAN, IMO, that has got to the Thee Definative Prince Guitar Solo EVER!
